SRL Diagnostics — Exposing patients to cancer risk by unnecessarily advising X Ray tests

SRL Diagnostics in Bangalore conducts annual medical checkups for corporates. Among the list of tests they perform, they also included chest X-ray's. Why this is bad: 1. X-ray radiation is absorbed by tissues and increases a person's cancer risk. 2. Every time an X-ray is done, the effect of it keeps accumulating even if done once a year. 3. A chest X-ray is only necessary if a person has smoked 1 pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years, but SRL Diagnostics is advising the X-ray for even 22 to 30 year old's who do not smoke. This is a clear case of criminal medical negligence. An audit of the Diagnostic center will show how many patients have been subjected to such dangerous tests when there was no need to. Such an audit needs to be done for other hospitals too.
